Salut !!
Quelle coincidence, alors que je cherchais un moyen d'aller enseigner en Thailande je tombe sur ton message... Moi aussi je passe en ce moment le TEFL et compte partir vers le mois d'aout. J'aurais quelques plans a te proposer (ouais quelques sites web assez intéressants)... et si toi de ton côté t'as des bons plans également n'hésite pas !!!

Salut helene,
j'ai lu un de tes messages sur le site et voudrais te demander par quel organisme tu prépares ton TEFL
combien coûte la formation et combien de temps elle dure, je vis à Paris et aimerais le passer.
En Thaïlande il y a beaucoup de voyageurs qui s'improvisent profs d'anglais, normal il y a beaucoup de demande.
Je crois qu'il y a pas mal de sites internet où tu peux trouver des postes à pourvoir http://www.emploi-international.org/, www.anyworkanywhere.com, www.gumtree.com entre autres, il me semble qu'il existe un site francophone d'offres d'emploi à Bangkok mais j'ai oublié l'adresse, tu peux la trouver en tapant Bangkok et offres d'emploi sur un moteur de recherches.
Ah et j'oubliais pour le français tu as aussi www.fdlm.org et www.fle.fr.😉
J'espère que j'ai pu t'aider.
Merci d'avance pour tes réponses.
Et si tu trouves un plan sympa n'hésites pas à me contacter (je suis prof de Fle) !!!

Helene,
La Thailand c'est super chouette 😉!!!
Il me semble que dans la pluspart des cas, si tu veux enseigner l'anglais tu es un peu mal paye au debut mais tu arrives vite a un bon salaire si tu bosses bien. Temoignage d'un ami a moi qui est parti la bas il y a 6 ans et n'est pas revenu!
Prof de francais, il me semble qu'il y a mois de demande mais aussi moins d'offre et c'est assez bien paye.
Quand tu enseignes en Thailande il est important de te rappeler que ton salaire est tres superieur au salaire des Thais (pour un meme poste dans le meme etablissment!!!). Il faut donc faire preuve de sensibilite a ce niveau la, si tu veux entretenir de bonnes relations avec tes collegues ainsi que te faire des amis Thais et ne pas evoluer que dans des cercles d'expats/touristes...
La culture et l'histoire Thai sont tres interessantes et enrichissantes. Profites bien de ton voyage, apprends et vis, et amuse toi en chemin...
Bye

coucou, moi je reviens il y a quelques jours de Bangkok ou je suis restée quelques semaine. Je repars en octobre avec une amie pour 6 mois minimum. Par contre je fais des tonnes de recherche en ce moment car j'aimerai enseigner le français la bas et j'aimerai savoir s'il faut un diplôme particulier pour avoir le droit d'enseigner. Je prépare actuellement une licence d'espagnol. Si vous avez des infos, merci de me les transmettre!!

Bonjour!🙂
Voila, je connais quelques sites interessants mais je les avais mis sur mon premier message et ils ont ete enleves...
Si tu veux, essaye de me contacter en message prive et je te les enverrais.
Le diplome dont tu auras surement besoin est le TEFL. Tu peux le passer en Europe ou en Thailande, ou a distance en utilisant internet.
Bonne chance.

😉 Salut les gens!
Je reviens de 2 mois en Thailande expérience grandiose et inoubliable... Je suis trés attiré par l'asie et par une expérience professionelle là-bas. Je pense passer le TEFL et j'aimerai avoir des temoignages de gens qui l'ont passé et qui ont essayé de trouver un boulot en asie. Si vous avez des tuyaux pour enseigner le français ou l'anglais sans diplomes particulier j'suis preneur. Merci

Alors le TOEFL, et non TEFL, je l'ai passé ainsi que le TOEIC. Ce sont des test d'aptitudes à la langue anglaise, reconnus mondialement.
Les 2tests sont similaires, si ce n'est que le TOEFL est reconnu pour être étudiant, et le TOEIC plutot pour travailler.
C'est des QCM sur la grammaire, le vocabulaire mais aussi des textes à lire, des photos, et des dialogues à écouter. Ce n'est pas difficile et ce n'est pas parcequ'on a un bon score que l'on est bilingue !!!
Pour pouvoir être prof à l'étranger, avoir le TOEFL ne suffit pas, d'une part car des millions de gens l'ont, et oui tous les étudiants d'école de commerce par exemple le passe, que ce n'est pas vraiment révélateur du niveau d'anglais, et qu'être prof ca exige beaucoup plus que ca.
Enfin voila, moi j'ai eu un très bon score au 2 tests, et pourtant je suis pas bilingue (même si j'ai un bon niveau).
D'un point de vue pratique, le test se passe quand vous voulez à l'étranger, ca coute dans les 150 ou 200 Euros, et en 3H c'est bouclé.
Voila, à bon entendeur, TOEFL n'est pas synonyme de Diplome de d'enseignant !!!!

Salut Youpi 88
Merci de ta réponse mais apparement on ne parle pas de la mm chose
Je connais le Toefl et le Toeic et effectivement ça ne permet en aucun cas de certifier d'une capacité a enseigner.
Je parle Bien du TEFL ou TESOL
http://www.eurotefl.com/
qui est une formation de 4 semaines pour enseigner l'anglais a l'étranger pour des personnes dont ce n'est pas la première langue.
"As an initial qualification for English language teaching, the Trinity CertTESOL and ELC CertTESOL (Teaching English As A Second Language) leads to job opportunities both at home and abroad. It is designed to give candidates who have little or no previous English language teaching experience the knowledge and skills needed to teach English around the world."

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
